Enter DIOMEDES
Troilus, I say! where's Troilus?AJAX
What wouldst thou?DIOMEDES
I would correct him.AJAX
Were I the general, thou shouldst have my officeTROILUS
Ere that correction. Troilus, I say! what, Troilus!
Enter TROILUS
O traitor Diomed! turn thy false face, thou traitor,DIOMEDES
And pay thy life thou owest me for my horse!
Ha, art thou there?AJAX
I'll fight with him alone: stand, Diomed.DIOMEDES
He is my prize; I will not look upon.TROILUS
Come, both you cogging Greeks; have at you both!HECTOR
Exeunt, fighting

Enter ACHILLES
Now do I see thee, ha! have at thee, Hector!HECTOR
Pause, if thou wilt.ACHILLES
I do disdain thy courtesy, proud Trojan:HECTOR
Be happy that my arms are out of use:
My rest and negligence befriends thee now,
But thou anon shalt hear of me again;
Till when, go seek thy fortune.
Exit
Fare thee well:TROILUS
I would have been much more a fresher man,
Had I expected thee. How now, my brother!
Re-enter TROILUS
Ajax hath ta'en AEneas: shall it be?HECTOR
No, by the flame of yonder glorious heaven,
He shall not carry him: I'll be ta'en too,
Or bring him off: fate, hear me what I say!
I reck not though I end my life to-day.
Exit
Enter one in sumptuous armour
Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark:
No? wilt thou not? I like thy armour well;
I'll frush it and unlock the rivets all,
But I'll be master of it: wilt thou not,
beast, abide?
Why, then fly on, I'll hunt thee for thy hide.
Exeunt

 | Ahoy Mates! We're happy to announce that 2006 is the year of Moby Dick. Join us before the mast! For more information, please check out Moby Dick or email Drake. Free downloadable copies are available at Moby Dick, and we hope that ye join us in discussing the novel at the Moby Dick Campfire. Invite yer friends! We would like to unite the world in reading what is perhaps the greatest work of fiction ever penned on the American shores. Written in the rich context of Shakespeare and the Bible, Moby Dick was Herman Melville's definitive masterpiece. If you've already read the epic, we invite you to read it again. And be sure to pick up Hamlet and the Bible throughout November, as the novel shall only be enhanced by the deeper context. The White Whale, symbolic of the truth and freedom which the greatest spirits in Western Civilization have ever pursued, yet swims free. Concerning Moby Dick, Melville wrote, "It ... is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships' cables and hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book..." Moby Dick was the first "Great Book" posted at jollyroger.com, over six years ago, and Melville's masterpiece has inspired a lot of our poetry and prose. Check out Drake's new film at Moby Dick Film and Moby Dick.  Amazon Computers | |
